ALDI & Lidl are already larger than the other major players, if you take into account the whole planet.
The only fly in the ointment is Asda's parent company Walmart, but they don't appear to be doing much in the way of expansion, so I think "The Main Four" will continue to lose market share, to the more successful German rivals.

I did not know they were German .

You learn a new thing every day ;-) ALDI is 6 years older than Tesco too

No gain here here because the other supermarkets will cut jobs. This is just jobs going round in circles.

The increased competition from lidl & aldi etc. has got the fat cats at Tesco quaking in there boots.

I agree there will be a reduction in jobs simply because the cheapo shop model is more efficient, they throw the stuff at you as you leave to get the money quicker. (Fewer till, fewer staff)

So, you quite literally pay your money and take your choice.

What we don't need is over capacity in the market place as this reduces efficiency, this I fear is a very real possibility.
